The Ghost’s Town

Reverend, I did not confess
So, I lay in uneasy rest
Until duty called
in Miracle

Bloody are the streets that I stalk,
In the burnt trees, red-eyed crows flock
Bloodier still is
Soiled Miracle

Every citizen, full of sin
My knife doesn't know where to begin
Carving the cancer
of Miracle

Eager blade sings with every slice
Every reaped life fulfills my price
Silence settles on
Doomed Miracle

Margo Cilker's Vally of Heart's Delight is suffused with a warmth and earthiness, a friendly reminder that all these ups and downs — peaks and valleys, if you will — are just part of life and we can make it through.

Cowboy poetry
"Sagebrush ain't so pretty?" Well, all eyes don't see the same;
Have you ever saw the moonlight turn it to a silv'ry flame?
An' that greasewood thicket yonder—well, it smells jest awful sweet
When the night wind has been shakin' it; for smells it's hard to beat.

Lonesome? well, I guess not! I've been lonesome in a town.
But I sure do love the desert with its stretches wide and brown;
All day through the sagebrush here, the wind is blowin' free.
An' it's ours jest for the breathin', so let's fill up, you and me.
